    Website says the following:
    How many people can be at one site? For individual and group camping a total of 8 people and 2 cars per site is the max.

    Of course we have bent/broken that rule in the past with little pushback. Still probably best to stay at 2-3 or at most 4 on big sites so we stay on their good graces. I think like many things if we use common sense it won't be a problem.

    That being said, that younger kid that works there and sometimes rides around on the golf cart to check really doesn't seem to care much about our group. He let me go back like 3 days later after it rained out me/Carlos/Ingo that one day and just told me "have fun" to hit the trails. So hey what do I know about rules lol.

    They were pretty lax about squatters in the past. I have plenty of room on 64.

    Would definitely appreciate if I can squat somewhere, I think sites got booked faster this time than any other in the past. As usual I can supply gallons of Brandy + supplies for Old Fashioneds (social lubricant), or cold hard cash (financial lubricant).

    The goal with rules is to have one made about you.

    Such as a "No Motorized vehicles" sign being placed in the hallway of a school building.... :anonymous:

    63 is a big site, I would have room for 2 or 3 easily.

    Had an end-loader snowblower that was similar in Madison. Had a 5 ft auger. Superintendent didn't want to spend the $125,000 for it. He finally gave in and the overtime saved in 6 weeks paid for itself. Next year the East side yard had one, too. Would take about 5 minutes to load a single axle truck using a bucket. Took maybe 30 seconds with that bad boy. Was like driving in a total whiteout. Sometimes you couldn't see past the windshield. Kinda scary at first, but we got used to it ....sort of. It never got old.

    That's a good point, and sounds like you have a good story to go with your rule. If we get lucky and there is another wedding at Tigerton, we might get a "no wedding crashing allowed" rule made for us. Going to have to step up my game though, I'll start training now!

    Play your cards right and I might take another stoic morning coffee glamor shot of you for the calendar. New for this year I have other shirts now with other identities too.

    If there is room I call dibs on one spot. Silver Truck Gang!!

    I posted a list of sites & squatters over on the Events page to help James out. Thanks for letting me squat! Will have to pack some trail ice cream in the freezer with your name on it lol.

    Forgot to acknowledge this earlier. Awesome story you shared there, and agreed it seems like we are seeing lots of big land protections this year. Very cool!

    This site is also pretty amazing. I have to avoid it though along with the WI historical society and the national register of landmarks. You can lose entire days and weeks going down those rabbit holes...which is great but I can't get sucked in or I won't get any work done haha!

    Work? We're supposed to be.... Working?

    :anonymous:

    As far as rules go .... An 85 Hilux will fit down a school hallway if you take the center doorpost out. Makes for a great trash pickup rig.

    Until the superintendent comes around the corner and gives you the ol' Red Forman (that didn't even get us fired though!)
